A huge thank you and congratulations are in order to 2 of our wonderful fundraisers and friends -Fiona and Russ; who successfully completed their sky dives to raise funds for us on Friday 1st September.
Their efforts have managed to raise over £400; can you help donate some pennies as a token of goodwill? You can donate here : mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/fiona1011
Not only did they go out of their comfort zones and jump out of a plane at 15,000ft in the air, the sheer excitement and the adrenaline rush pumping through their veins lead to a proposal once both pairs of feet had firmly touched the ground! You can watch both their jumps and that special proposal here - m.youtube.com/watch?v=6rZIP_6Dn0o&feature=youtu.be
I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to them both for supporting our cause (plus Claire for wearing /promoting our t-shirt / encouraging the sky dive!) and give a massive congratulations on behalf of the whole Maisha team on their long and happy future together. ❤️
Asante Sana, Pongezi na Mungu aweza kukubariki.
🎊🥂🍾🎉

2016 marks the end of the road for 3 of our original sponsored children who have attended high school for 4 years, all thanks to your generosity and support. We wish all Francis, Mercy and Josphat the very best as they proceed onto university or onto their first jobs. We will continue to follow these students for the year ahead or until they settle to assist them adapt to the next stage of their lives. 🙂
2017 marks the beginning of 2 new sponsored children joining the programme - Darius and John who are very excited to join the scheme and are ready to study hard.
Josphat sent us this video recording and he wanted us to share with all our supporters as a message of thanks. Josphat was a truly fantastic student and it was our pleasure supporting him through our sponsorship programme. Josphat received a mean grade of B in his KCSE examinations which is absolutely fantastic and is heading off to university this September. On behalf of the whole team here, congrats Josphat, keep in touch, we will miss you!
We have also surprised some of our sponsors this evening with individual videos from their sponsored children recorded specifically for them 🙂
Thank you Maisha foundation

The Christmas holidays are here!
Before the year was over we wanted one final gathering with our wonderful sponsored children where we hosted a party with food for potentially the final time at our struggling nursery project.
Spirits were high but in everybody's minds was the pending decision as to whether the project will remain open in 2017.
We can only achieve this by receiving a corporate donation or a large donation from individuals so if please dig a little into your pockets if you can and help us save our nursery. You can either donate via our website or by simply texting "MSHA00 £5" or "MSHA00 £10" now! Make a difference today, without your continued support we would not have achieved what we have and not be here today.
Asante Sana and have a fantastic Christmas, we hope to have some good news come the new year

Before the Christmas break we took some of our sponsored children to get new uniforms, shoes and a fresh batch of learning books for the year ahead. We will do the same for the remaining students before the new year.
They were very appreciative and felt blessed to receive them, such a lovely way to enjoy Christmas.
Merry Christmas on behalf of the team and we hope for a successful 2017.

We recently dropped by unannounced to our 3 high school students (both in school and at their homes!) all sitting their KCSE examinations this week to wish them the very best of luck from the whole team here at Maisha and presented them with their success cards - good luck to you all!!

In September we helped distribute 300 LifeStraws to the community within the outskirts of Nanyuki in Laikipia county. The team visited two schools who both had no access to clean water but have rivers nearby.
These straws will make a significant difference to the lives of these students and will be of great use here. Many thanks to Rotary Club of Brynmawr and Frome Community College for their generous donations to this great cause.
